Actors needed for Ontario Election Improvisational Street Theatre Project
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
The deadline for our cross-Ontario avant-garde street theatre project is fast-approaching.
We would pay for any pre-approved expenses incurred. But we cannot pay a "salary" because each artist would need to register as a candidate in the Ontario Election and candidates cannot be paid.
Each actor takes on a persona, and then engages the media and voters as that persona in an improvisational manner.
The theme of our street-oriented theatre is rights, freedoms and social justice.
We have created a political party as an artistic construct to inspire the characters they decide to take on which emulate one of more aspects of our artistic construct.
We believe that through our project, artists can help inspire more citizen engagement in the political process among communities in Ontario that regard themselves to be marginalized or oppressed from mainstream media and other societal discourse.
Artists who apply must be able to identify with one or more marginalized / oppressed groups.
